Ammonium persulfate (Cat No.:R025710) is a white, crystalline salt used as a strong oxidizing agent in various industrial and laboratory applications. It is highly soluble in water and decomposes upon heating to release free radicals, making it an effective initiator for polymerization reactions, especially in the production of plastics and synthetic rubbers. Additionally, it is employed in etching printed circuit boards, cleaning and bleaching agents, and as a soil conditioner in agriculture. Due to its oxidative strength, it must be handled with care to avoid skin irritation and reactive hazards.
